Kobayashi has been a total disaster on the council for years, and it is terrible news that she will be budget chair. She was the council’s number one obstructionist when she held the post before, deliberately causing endless drama for political reasons and accomplishing nothing of substance, while constantly manipulating the feckless puppet she helped install as council chair. If voters really understood what goes on there, they would be sickened.

An astute observer or semiconscious barfly might look deep into a sweating glass of Bud and surmise the following:
Political forces aligned with Abercrombie and pals are shopping for, and/or trying to build up, a candidate to run against Carlisle for mayor next year.
They are probably eyeing Ernie Martin or Kobayashi.
Either way, Kobayashi will probably do everything she can to undermine Carlisle from now until then.
Expect lots of needless bickering, lots of loaded questions, lots of ignoring responses, and more of the usual pandering to the Olelo audience and any news cameras that show up, lots of platitudes about saving taxpayer money and protecting seniors and nonprofits, and lots of emptiness when you strip all the bark away.
We’ve all been subjected to this excruciatingly bad theater before, ad nauseam. I’d rather watch Jackass.
